LUA recently provided an opportunity for the Santa Barbara County Fire Department and the Santa Barbara Police Department SWAT Unit to train at a soon to be demolished project. Both Fire and SWAT rely on vacant buildings to train their teams on how to respond in real life emergency situations. With full range of the structure, both rescue teams were able to simulate crisis scenarios, breach doors, test out new equipment, and practice other tactical drills. LUA will be demolishing this structure in the next week in preparation for a new build.

We extend our thanks to those who risk their lives to serve and protect our country and local communities!

Stay tuned for additional updates and details on this project once demo is completed and construction is underway!
